"We can't heal the world today, but we can begin w "We can't heal the world today, but we can begin with a voice of compassion, a heart of love, and an act of kindness." Mary Davis ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I read an article over the weekend about the incredible rise in loneliness, not just during lockdown but all the time and around the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One study found that loneliness triggers the same kind of response in our bodies that hunger does. That makes sense to me - we’re meant to be connected and the longing for human connection can be visceral at times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It has me thinking about the changes we might make to become more mindful of others. Proactively reaching out with a phone call to a friend might be as much as we can do for now. But after this is over, let’s hope we can find other ways to create a greater sense of community.
Given that pretty much everyone I know lives outsi Given that pretty much everyone I know lives outside my 5km zone, walking with a friend looks very different these days. During this last lockdown, I’ve make a point of walking and talking on the phone with at least a couple of friends each week. ⠀ ⠀ It’s not something I would ever have done before, preferring my walks to be phone free time but these conversations have become the highlight of my days. ⠀ ⠀ While nothing beats an in-person catch up, there’s been a deepening of relationships, an untangling of all of the problems of the world and the gift of shared wisdom that I am hugely grateful for. ⠀ ⠀ One small upside during this crazy time. 🌿☀️

“Even after all this time the sun never says to “Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” Hafiz⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What a gift to offer that kind of love. 🤍
If you've been feeling anxious, irritable, flat or If you've been feeling anxious, irritable, flat or frustrated in the past few days (or weeks), you're definitely not on your own. Almost everyone I speak to is wishing we could fast track our way back to 'normal'.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One of the greatest antidotes to stress and uncertainty is mindfulness and while it's much more easily explained than lived, it's a concept that with practise, gets easier.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Join me in my online workshop on Saturday morning where we'll meditate together and I'll share tips about how you can use mindfulness to live with a greater sense of ease.⁠⠀ ⠀ When: Saturday 22 August⠀ Time: 10am to 11am⠀ Where: Online (via Zoom)⠀ Fee: $20⠀ ⁠⠀ Please reach out for a complimentary pass for yourself or a friend facing financial difficulty. ⠀ ⠀ Workshop will be recorded for those not able to attend at the time. ⠀ ⠀ You’ll find the booking link in my bio. ⁠🙏
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way." ⁠⠀ Viktor E. Frankl⠀ ⠀ While I was writing a chapter in my next book on what gives life a sense of purpose and meaning, I spent a lot of time reading Viktor Frankl. His wisdom was profound. ⠀ ⠀ Even in the most dire circumstances during his time in concentration camps, he managed to find moments of beauty in nature. And he reminded himself often of his love for his wife and family. ⠀ ⠀ Those are the things that sustained him. 🌿🤍
